When an argument shows up and is escalated (appealed) to a higher authority, the problematic situation is dutifully regulated out of existence.
Authority only knows how to be authoritarian, thus, the solution for liberty is restriction.
For instance, the argument over bathroom use by gender/sex has led to noncommunal spaces, which is to say, an isolated solo experience. Protests lead to a dearth of options, not an abundance of diversity.
Equally, bestowed authority can brutally slice through the Gordian Knot with an edict, such as King Solomon pronouncing the baby should be cut in half.
